Here’s the kicker. The cipher ended with a bunch of real-life co-ordinates that pointed to a location in upstate New York. There, a player found a cache with a set of coins, messages and even a real-life Valkyrie spear. Talk about going above and beyond. … [Read more...] about Destiny 2 Warmind Riddle Completed, Leads to Real-Life Reward

Lead Dan Stevens spoke to our sister publication SFX magazine about that very thing. The full story is in this month’s issue, out Wednesday, 28 March, but here’s an oh-so-tantalising snippet.Subscribe: You can sign up for future issues of SFX for more exclusive news and features on Lost in Space, Westworld, and beyond.
